Following in the footsteps of several Gleeks before her, Jane Lynch has signed on to voice a character on an upcoming episode of The Simpsons.
Sources reveal that Jane will be voicing Roz, Homer├óΓé¼Γäós new assistant at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. executive producer Al Jean describes the character a “terrifically nice” woman, until Homer learns she is undermining him to get his job. Al explains that casting Jane in the role was a no brainer:
“She can do edge, sweetness, and a mix of both,” he says of the actress, who recorded her lines last week. “I’m just embarrassed we didn’t ask her before she was so successful because she’s funny in everything she does. We were very happy when she said yes.”
We’re happy too, though we’re bummed to hear we have to wait a whole year to see the episode. (Its slated for early next season.)
Thin U’ll tune in for this episode?
